Van Lambaart has led Casinos Austria since 2022. He joined the group after serving as CEO of Holland Casino.
Andreas Bierwirth is considered a possible successor. He has served as a member of the board of directors and Chief Transformation Officer since October 2025. Bierwirth previously held management positions at Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines and Magenta Telekom. He is currently Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Do&Co and a member of the Board of Finnair.
